Think you have no waist? Nonsense! It may not be as defined as you’d like; use a belt to create the illusion that it is. |
|
|
|
To create a longer body line, choose belts that blend with the colour of your clothes (less eye-catching). |
|
|
|
Dark is more slimming than light and may look more expensive. Matt is more slimming than shiny. |
|
|
|
To create a streamlined effect, look for matching buckle and keepers. |
|
|
|
To bring the eye to the centre of the body, choose a bold buckle – another slimming trick. Worn with an open jacket, this is even more effective. |
|
|
|
If you have a small waist, try a contrasting or metallic belt. |
|
|
|
Short waist? - go for a narrow belt and try to match it to your top half to elongate the body. |
|
|
|
Long waist? - go for a wide belt and try to match it to your bottom half to elongate the legs. |

|
This season’s most innovative look is a skinny belt over a fine knit long line cardigan. Covers a multitude of sins without losing your silhouette. |
|
|
|
Don’t cinch your belts too tightly or your stomach will bulge out. A properly fitting belt is one where the middle hole is the best fit. |
|
|
|
If you have large hips choose a belt at least 1 inch wide with a narrow buckle as the focal point. |
|
|
|
If you have large breasts choose a more delicate and narrow belt. |
